Learning with Steve Wheeler #ictedu

Steve Wheeler shared a lot of ideas with the teachers and students who attended the ICT in Education Conference today. Amy Lombard and Anna Nic Dhonnachadha asked Steve why it’s important to bring other generations into classrooms. Steve shared several interesting thoughts about social media and also explained what he thinks about the way technology is being used in classrooms. And there’s more in the audio clip we recorded with the Zoom H6 field recorder.

Interview with Derek Breen

Finn and Chris interview Derek Breen. We found out how he doesnt mind doing talks in different countries as long as he has his flight paid. We also learned of his hatred for power point and how he involves t-shirts (that he creates using scratch) in his talks. We also heard of https://scratch.mit.edu/users/bubble103/ the creator of “Colour Divide” and what she is up to since.

Due to technical difficulties we are unable to post our interview yet 🙁
